24 Days of Christmas: Epson Artisan 730

I have needed a new printer for a long time! I kept putting off buying one because I wanted one that would fit my needs and budget.

TESTING the Artisan 730 All-in-One Printer:

Before I tell you about the printer let me tell you that Epson is by far one of the best companies I have worked with to date. They sent me everything I would need to review this product and I mean everything form an assortment of papers to extra ink. When I received the printer and unwrapped it the first thing I noticed is the amazing color and sleekness. The midnight blue is an amazing color and really adds to the high-tech feel of the 730. The control panel tilts so you can stand above the printer and still use it. There are so many things this all-in-one does that I am sure I will leave something out. When I print a picture it takes 40 seconds,honest to God!, it is like ou hit print and before I can stand up the picture has printed. I LOVE that it is wireless (it can be hook directly into your computer but the USB cable is NOT included.) Wireless allows me to have my printer on a separate table from my desk and not have a million cords. I can scan and copy with ease, I can even print onto disks which makes labeling them easier. My kids love the coloring pages. You take a page that is printed, put it on the scanner/copier and it comes out ready for the kids to color! I could go on and on about the features and everything. Epson has out done themselves and trust me when I say this is the one item that SHOULD be on your list this Christmas!  WAIT!!!! I forgot to tell you that with Epson Connect I can print from my phone!

CONS of the Artisan 730 All-in-One Printer:

• USB cable not included if you want to connect it directly to your computer but purchasing one is not expensive, in fact you more than likely have one or two lying around.
